This isn't an answer to your question, but I noticed aria-labelledby is being set to a text string. Aria-label accepts a text string, aria-labelledby and aria-describedby accept space-delimited lists of IDs. ...also, aria-labelled by will cause the actual element text to not be read out. You probably want to use aria-describedby instead.

Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there in this helpful community and help us figure out why the search results are not being announced on this page<http://devapps.sbctc.edu/TechPrepV2/SearchArticulations&gt;. There are four form elements to create the query, but just using the Search button will bring back guaranteed results. However they aren't announced. We are trying both area-live="assertive" and aria-atomic="true" and still no announcement that there are results now displayed on the page.
